How could Strait Times make such a mistake!! It's outrageous !
We learn about Neil Armstrong's name since junior school.
And to publish it on national papers - priceless. So much for their credibility - if there is still any left.
Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012) was an American astronaut and
the first person to walk on the Moon. He was also an aerospace engineer, naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor. Before becoming an astronaut, Armstrong was an officer in the U.S. Navy and served in the Korean War. After the war, he earned his bachelor's degree at Purdue University and served as a test pilot at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics High-Speed Flight Station, now known as the Dryden Flight Research Center, where he logged over 900 flights. He later completed graduate studies at the University of Southern California.
